First shoot with the M2 (Micro35)
 

Here's a quick shoot we did with the M2.

(video requires Quicktime 7)

The DOF looks nice.

Looks great. Love the depth of field on the M2 - you could definitely tell the difference between the two cameras.

What lens did you use on the M2?

Thanks,

Matthew.

Camera 2 was set-up very poorly, try a knee adjustment or turning down the aperature. The M2 stuff was a lot better but you could have got a very similar look from using the stock lens a little longer. I do it all the time on the XL2. I am sure you will get better at using it, it surely can be a great tool.

Camera 2 was just grabbed by a buddy there and shot in full auto, those shots didn't make it into the final but I liked seeing the difference.

What do you mean 'using the stock lens a little longer'?

Bryan? Tell me, Audio question here, can I see a mic boom sticking out from between the legs of the SonyHD's Tripod? If so, can you explain how you are supporting this? I think that is a truly neat solution for a one-man concern!

TIA,

Grazie

It's just a regular mic stand, something like this:

Longer means your camera postion is farther away and you are zoomed in, making the lens longer. I shot some stuff with the XLH yesterday, all zoomed from 10X to 20X and several people thought I had used a mini35 rig....

Oh yeah, we did all that before getting the rig. Not sure what you can do with the XL, but there's a HUGE difference using the micro35 and just manipulating the stock lens on the FX1.

The Z1 M2 stuff looks great! Also it didn't look 60i did you convert this in post?

The XL lenses are a bit longer... and with eithe 35 stuff you can keep your frame pretty wide and still get a small DOF....
